(POST AVENGERS)
"So how am I going to explain this…." I said gesturing to my neck.
"Aliens?"
"...Aliens," I shrugged. "Not as crazy as it would have been a year ago. Anyways…." I trailed off, "Clint, where are you taking me?"
"You'll have to wait and see." He smiled as he drove through the hills.
A couple hours later, we drove up to a farmhouse.
"Dude, it's a farm. What's so top secret about it? " the door creaked open and revealed a woman and two kids.
"Them." He led me towards them.
Holy crap! Okay, Angie, you can do this….You are going to be fine…. You come from a long line of lunatics….Well, Tony….Plus, you just saw aliens attack Earth…. What's meeting Clint's top-secret family?
I followed him to the porch.
" Angie, meet Laura. My wife. "
She held out her hand to me. "I've heard a lot about you. Pleasure to finally meet you."
I shook her hand. "Me too. Who are these little guys?" I moved down to the kids' level. "My name's Angie, what's yours? " The boy hid behind his mother's leg, while the little girl ran up and hugged me.
"I Li'a" the girl lisped.
Laura laughed. "This is Cooper. Sorry he's a little shy. But I'm sure he'll warm up to you. He did to Tasha."
"Tasha? Or course she knows."
Clint picked up Lila and threw her in the air. "Come on, sis. Let's show you around."
I watched his little antics with the kids. I saw how his face lit up when he saw them. No wonder why he keeps this a secret….I wish I had that….

Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed this flashback. I wanted to get some of her inner dialogue on it.
On another note, I've been thinking about taking a short break from the one-shots and doing Infinity War and some of the things that happen around then. I thought about expanding it more in the rewrite.
PM or Review if you want to see this now or later in the rewrite.
See you next time guys!
